Use More Energy Saving Light Bulbs Say BLT Direct
With so much emphasis being placed on saving energy, more and more households are being encouraged to use energy saving light bulbs around the home. However, recent figures suggest that the average household has used just half the energy saving bulbs they were supplied with.
As part of the government’s £3bn energy efficiency scheme, more than 42 million energy savers were sent out before Christmas, averaging ten per household. The average used, were around five.
Steven Ellwood, the Managing Director of BLT Direct, the leading energy saving light bulb suppliers, said: “It is worrying that people are not making the best use of the resources they are being provided with.
“We really need to start looking after our planet more and if energy saving bulbs help even a small way then we should all be making use of them, especially when they are being provided for free.”
The light bulb specialists stock a huge range of energy saving bulbs, including the Energy Saving Mini Spiral bulb, costing £4.91 including VAT for a nine watt bulb. The bulb comes in five, seven, nine, 11, 15, 18 and 20 watts, and can be used in lounges, hallways, bedrooms, wall lights and chandeliers. They also come in various colour temperatures and reduce heat output by 70 per cent, reduce UV output by 90 per cent and could save you a whopping 80 per cent in running costs. They have a running time of 8,000 hours.
Another example from their collection of energy saving bulbs is the Energy Saving My Planet Light Bulb. This little bundle of seven watt energy has an average life of a whopping 12,000 to 15,000 hours and can save you up to 80 per cent in running costs and costs just £2.93 including VAT.
In addition to this, they also do Energy Saving Halogen Replacement Bulbs, with prices starting from £10.90 including VAT for a 21 watt 118mm cool white bulb. They are designed as a direct replacement for linear halogen lamps and have built-in reflectors ensuring you get the best light output possible with the most energy saving results. They have an average shelf life of around 8,000 hours and their energy consumption compared to regular Tungsten Halogen Lamps is very low.
To browse the extensive range of energy saving bulbs, visit the BLT Direct website on http://www.bltdirect.com/ or telephone customer services on 01473 559 501.

Light bulb temperatures helping SAD sufferers
As energy efficient light bulbs continue to help us save the planet day by day; choosing light fittings with specific colour temperatures can also help those who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)? SAD is a type of winter-based depression that affects around seven per cent of the UK severely and a further seventeen per cent mildly. It is caused by a chemical imbalance due to the shorter and darker days that the winter seasons bring. Symptoms of SAD can include depression, lethargy, weight gain and an increase in the amount of time spent sleeping.
How do specific lamps help? By choosing a light bulb that burns high up the colour scale; six thousand kelvins or over (kelvins are the unit in which colour is measured), the light fittings will burn similar to the colours of summer and spring daylight. The illusion will help ease the symptoms for sufferers during the darker months.
BLT Direct offer fluorescent tubes, energy saving light bulbs and even halogen light bulbs in a range of colours. Steven Ellwood, spokesperson for BLT Direct says “The most effective light fitting for SAD sufferers would be the fluorescent tube lighting we offer clients; as these types of fittings light larger rooms such as kitchens and garages, which won’t often be lit by other sources or have smaller windows”
To browse the extensive range, or for advice on which light fittings to choose; visit the BLT Direct website on www.bltdirect.com or telephone customer services on 01473 559 501

Transform your home lighting
If you’re a landlord or tenant about to move into a new property, the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) will likely be looming large. Now mandatory for all properties being bought or leased, the certificate rates the home’s energy efficiency levels on a sliding scale from A (very efficient) to G (very inefficient). A low rating can affect the home’s resale value and the rates commanded from tenants.
In order to make a rental property or house bought specifically for leasing further down the line as attractive as possible, there is one simple action that can contribute towards a more efficient rating – install energy efficient lightbulbs throughout the house. Energy efficient lighting can be used in every part of the home and with the huge range and expert advice available from the energy saving lighting experts BLT Direct, swapping out energy hungry incandescent bulbs for eco-friendly counterparts like the GU10 is the work of minutes.
Halogen GU10 bulbs are perfect for the kitchen and can be used to transform the cooking and food preparation areas in to the hub of the home. Combining colours and styles can personalise the lighting design – try fluorescent tubes for the main lights and then discreet under cupboard light bulbs for a more relaxing hue at meal times. Used as downlighters, a GU10 light bulb in a kitchen setting can last anything from 2000 to 5000 hours.
For the bathroom, replace harsh, dated overhead lights with any one of the range of IP65 rated bathroom downlighters, available in brass, white, chrome and brushed chrome. Available in low voltage and GU10 versions, the lights add a stylish touch and can transform the bathroom into a soothing sanctuary at the end of a busy day.
Energy saving light bulbs consume less power, emit less pollution and make less of an impact on the electricity bill. With a longer lamp life they also need replacing less, which makes them a much more economical choice all round.

Prestigious office developments switch on to LED lighting
A slew of energy-efficient alternatives to traditional incandescent bulbs are enjoying a surge in popularity as the UK works to reduce its carbon footprint and meet EU guidelines. One of the early favourites in the race to become more energy efficient is the LED lighting.
The first all-LED lit office building in the UK takes the form of London’s prestigious Tower 42. Philips is the team behind the scenes responsible for revamping the entire building with LED lighting at Tower 42, otherwise famed as the tallest building in London.
Occupants of the prestigious offices will be saving an impressive 40 percent on energy with the utilisation of the latest energy-efficient LED lighting solutions. However, even more impressive is the LED system that is currently being installed in India’s Nagpur, replacing incandescent lamps at major traffic signals as part of the traffic improvement plan of the city. According to sources, the new LED lighting system will save an astronomical 90 percent on energy due to its low power consumption and longer life qualities.
Back in London, the Tower 42 project leads the way but more and more blue chip organisations and large office building management agencies are expected to follow the trend for installing LED lighting. It’s a major achievement that is set to help meet guidelines set at Copenhagen earlier this year.
Considering the energy and power consumed by big corporations across the United Kingdom, project Tower 42 is a great example of how one change can make a big difference. LED light bulbs (Light Emitting Diode) function as a cluster of individual units that produce white light. It is the exact combination of these units that yields the tone of the light. BLT Direct has taken a special focus on low energy light bulbs with its stock of LED light fittings and selection of LED light bulbs. As a cool alternative to the incandescent light bulb, the LED bulb not only saves energy but can last from 50,000 to 100,000 hours, while incandescent light bulbs last around 1000 hours. Devoid of fragile filament, the LED lightbulb is also shock resistant and durable.
With the bar raised, there is no doubt that office building management companies, large corporations and blue chip organisations will begin to consider a switch to LED lighting, making a significant contribution to reducing the UK’s carbon footprint while creating an positive public image.
